The three-day Chinese Amateur Radio Festival event saw everyone participating, and it was quite lively. There were a total of 28 QSOs with BnCRA, as well as some scattered communications with other stations. I don't think there will be any issues winning a gold award (…).
This was my first time participating in this event, so I had to ask many colleagues for advice.
The equipment used was a XieGu G90s, with a MA-12 gp antenna, and a 24Ah phosphate iron lithium battery.
I initially tried to get another local ham (radio operator) involved, but they backed out, so I had to complete all the tasks myself.
The MA-12 is actually a very good antenna, and it's worth using. For someone like me who works in the field, this antenna effectively combines convenience and efficiency.
QTH was located in a local park (specifically, near the lake at the school where it's not allowed to set up equipment, so he had to operate further away).
I hope you have gained a better understanding of shortwave propagation, and also realized your own shortcomings compared to others. The principle of "learning from the virtuous" encourages us to seek advice and guidance from our fellow broadcasters.
I failed to achieve SSB with B1CRA at a distance of 15 meters, which indicates that my understanding of propagation is insufficient.
To say that I regret not achieving 40m voice and 30m FT8 is definitely something, and there's still a bit of disappointment.
During the May Day holiday in Changde, there was basically heavy rain or even a storm. To avoid my computer getting wet, I ended up using air-only connections for the entire FT8 communication (which was quite cumbersome).
The third day, I managed to set up the antenna in the gazebo in the park despite the heavy rain. The following two days were also relatively good, with no rain and even some sunshine.
